Installing Elasticsearch in 7 steps!
Step by step on Linux
We are regularly asked if there is a good Dutch manual for Elasticsearch to install. The steps that need to be taken are simple if done in the correct order. This blog describes the installation of Elasticsearch and Kibana step by step.
To begin, ensure a clean installation of Ubuntu Linux. We used the following ISO / version: ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso.
Install Elasticsearch
Elasticsearch can be installed with the following commands and steps.
wget –Co – https://artefacts.elastic.co/GPG–KEY–Elasticsearch | sudo apt–add key –
2. sudo apt–sudo apt install–Transport–https
3. echo “deb https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/apt stable main” | sudo tee –a /etc/apt/Sources.list.d/elastic–7.x.list
4. sudo apt–Get update && sudo apt–sudo apt-get install elasticsearch
Elasticsearch is now installed. It can be started with the following command:
5. sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service
Install Kibana
Now that Elasticsearch is installed, Kibana can be installed.
6. sudo apt–Get update && sudo apt–sudo apt-get install kibana
7. sudo systemctl start kibana.service
Start the web browser now and go to localhost:5601. The Kibana screen should now appear. Good luck!
